Yaatris (2023) Movie Review: A Delicious Medley of Laughter, Tears, and Bangkok Spice



Forget predictable retiree rom-coms! This Sharma clan throws a curveball, trading their Delhi routine for a Thai adventure. It's a fresh perspective on aging, exploring themes of self-discovery, family bonds, and embracing the unexpected. And yes, there's a delightful twist that'll make you chuckle and nod in agreement.


Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions! Laughter erupts from Meenu's witty quips and Pushkar's endearing quirks. Poignant moments sneak in as Saroj juggles family and self-doubt, and Mohan navigates life's crossroads. But through it all, their love and support shine through, making you root for them every step of the way.


Raghubir Yadav steals the show with his expressive eyes and endearing body language. Seema Pahwa is the rock of the family, her warmth radiating through the screen. Jamie Lever's comic timing is spot-on, and Anuraag Malhan brings depth to Mohan's internal struggles. Together, they embody the quirks and charm of Indian families, making you feel like you're right there with them on the bustling streets and serene temples.


While the visuals are vibrant and the music perfectly complements the narrative, a few pacing issues in the second act could be tightened. However, the film's flaws are easily forgiven, overshadowed by the sheer heart and humor it packs.


"Bangkok mein bhi, budhape mein bhi, Sharma family drama zaroori hai!" (Even in Bangkok, even in retirement, Sharma family drama is inevitable!) This line perfectly captures the film's essence – a blend of relatable humor and touching moments that stay with you long after the credits roll.


Yaatris is a thought-provoking, heartwarming, and unapologetically Indian film. It celebrates the beauty of aging, the strength of family, and the joy of new beginnings. It's not just a movie, it's an experience that will leave you laughing, crying, and maybe even booking a flight to Bangkok.


Ratings: ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 out of 5


So, what are you waiting for? Grab your popcorn, book your tickets, and get ready for a "Yaatris" rollercoaster of laughter, tears, and rediscovery!
